Sorry Andy, what's bump starting? 

you are joking steve

You're pulling my leg ................ aren't you  Push starting = bump starting ie push car as fast as you can, dip clutch & select 2nd gear, quickly raise clutch to spin engine. Hopefully car will start!! NB make sure your wife/girl friend/other has actually turned the ignition on as originally requested. 

No mate. I've never had to do this or ever been shown

And with a pack, you shoudl still connect the neg to the engine (on an Omega the engine lifting eye is a good spot)

i was also told that by connecting battery to battery you can get a spark than can upset ecu/etc
the battery to battery way was okay in the 60s when the  electrics  where basic and a heater was a option
